MPAA Rating: PG

Animated Disney film about an explorer who gets a
map to the lost city of Atlantis. Along with a motley submarine crew he sets out to find
the mysterious, lost city. With the voices of Michael J. Fox, James Garner, Claudia
Christian, Jim Varney and John Mahoney. The introductory scene and a later scene are in
"Atlantian" with English subtitles. [1:33]

SEX/NUDITY 2 - We see a sultry woman in a slinky dress exposing cleavage and
long legs; the strap of her dress falls off her shoulder. A woman is seen in native
Atlantian dress -- which is like a bikini top and a skirt that is slit to the hip. A woman
removes her skirt to swim revealing a small bikini-type bottom. A man's robe falls open
and he is presumably nude, (judging from another man's reaction) although we don't see
anything. There's a comment by one character that he sleeps in the nude. A man and woman
hug.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - We see the tale of the cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis
played out with a scene of flying machines carrying warriors and a huge tidal wave hitting
the city (we see a shorter version in another scene). We see people in panic running and
screaming. A large snarling creature snaps at some trucks. There is a scene where a small
group of people pays their respects to people who were killed. A huge, metal
crustacean-like creature with red eyes crashes into a ship and throws people around and
they panic. A volcano becomes active; lava flows toward Atlantis, there are explosions and
the ground begins to crack up. There's a battle scene with flying machines squealing
through the air and lots of gun fire and fire balls. There's a chase scene with pods
running frantically away from sea creatures, through narrow channels. Some trucks crossing
a bridge blow up causing the bridge to collapse and the remaining trucks to roll off and
crash. Flying creatures that look like
lightning bugs fly through a camp and when they
land they catch fire; the camp is destroyed. A man's arm is cut with a crystal and then
the man "freezes" and becomes a crystal fire monster. A man dangles from a cage
which is attached to a chain being pulled by a flying machine. Two men fight with punching
and kicking, and one swings an ax at the other. A woman fights with some soldiers knocking
two down; she pulls a knife on a third but the knife is shot out of her hand. Torpedoes
are fired at a sea creature. An explosion causes a huge pillar to fall over, a ship
explodes underwater, a balloon explodes mid-air and a bridge explodes, sending splinters
through the air. A man throws a woman off a hot air balloon (she
manages to catch herself, kicks and punches the man, but she is tossed off again). A man
dies from his injuries. A man is seen with a bloody scratch. A woman is threatened with a
gun twice, a woman punches a man in the face causing him to fall back onto the ground, and
two men are punched by a soldier and fall to the ground. A cage in a balloon, as well as
the balloon, fall to the ground and there's an explosion. Some robotic-looking creatures
"awaken" with a lot of noise and create a flashing, crackling force field. A
story of a leviathan protecting the entrance to Atlantis is recounted. Two women (in
separate scenes) are surrounded by a beam of light and carried up into the air: One scene
is more detailed with the woman floating into a ball of fire; she begins glowing and her
eyes are white. A flying machine ricochets off some rocks and crashes. We see a man doing
yoga who is twisted like a pretzel and we hear his bones popping and cracking. A man
practices a presentation in front of an audience of skeletons. A man on a ship vomits over
the side, and a man called "mole" is very dirty and is surrounded by flies.
There's some scatological humor, a whoopee cushion and bean jokes. There is a scene of
people eating with bad table manners; lots of slurping and burping. There are some
shadowed beings that follow a group of people. A digging machine makes a lot of noise and
shoots sparks as it digs. A man jumps on the hood of a car and is thrown off and splashed
as the car drives through a puddle.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
